Cipo Saeco De Rosa

Is it just me or does anyone vaguely interested in mid-late 90’s pro cycling know the popular cycling urban legend about how the first year Saeco rode Cannondales they were built by DeRosa because the bikes Cannondale supplied the team were so unacceptable?

That quote used in the CL ad would infer Cipo only rode the DeRosa Cannondales.

All this is just speculation of course.

I guess you could contact any of the involved parties and ask.
